  1. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is the exact sort of attitude that causes nothing to get done in this profession. What if someone in North Korea and decided to spend their life dedicated to fighting the corrupt political system...

  2. Job Market in Ohio?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to BNBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The market is becoming extremely oversaturated. NP programs are opening like crazy, especially the online for profit ones that take in a HUGE number of students - most have around a 99% acceptance...

  3. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

    futureeastcoastNP replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That makes no sense..why would admitting more students mean they stretch their resources less? Second, it's ridiculous that schools are of the mindset that they need to not provide an education so...

  4. Anyone in the Nov cohort for Simmons college FNP?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to medictechie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks guys! I appreciate those very friendly and helpful

  5. Looking back, would you obtain NP credential??

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Cindy-20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would have chosen MD or PA school instead of my current route. I am saddened each day as I look at the direction of the NP profession: online for profit programs where students set up their own...

  6. Off the wall question about NPs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Ha, a, that made me laugh out loud it's so spot on, I do think there's clearly a market here for a professionally focused NP forum for students and practicing NPs. Someone should start

  7. Online FNP.. How long? How much?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Angelmolina16's topic in Advanced Practice

    Shouldn't people be picking a school based on education quality rather than time and money?? I see threads like this and all I can do is shake my head for the future of this

  8. Chamberlain FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Lonlai84's topic in Chamberlain College

    Some employers won't care, but many will. For profits do have a bad reputation with many people, and for highly competitive jobs it will hard for a for profit graduate to compete with someone that...

  9. What is a reasonable new grad offer?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NdoNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please ignore redlion's advice, he is either a physician or wannabe physician. Redlion, of course they should be making money off of the NP, just as hospitals make money off of MDs. The difference...

  10. Disappointment trying not to be discouraged (very long post)

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NPs, as they do not have residencies nor the number of clinical hours of PAs or MDs, do need some supervision the first year or so to come into their own. I don't blame her for not wanting her first...

  11. Anyone in the Nov cohort for Simmons college FNP?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to medictechie's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Serious question: has anyone been denied to Simmons yet? I was very interested in the school, as the on campus program has always had a great reputation. Suddenly, though, the online program seems as...

  12. RN experience helpful and essential to be a NP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to apostolic4eva's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with you...this is I think, why most RNs with experience think experience is helpful. They have a leg up during school and for a bit after...but it's still a new role. And while early on you...

  13. What is a reasonable new grad offer?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to NdoNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well its a bit ridiculous. As a provider, you will be able to bill insurance for close to what the MD would bill for...yet do you think they offer another MD such a low salary? They are trying to make...

  14. 12 Month BSN or 15 Month MSN?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to sciencerer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My concern is this: even though it would have to be taught at the undergraduate level (since it is to train RNs not NPs), it would be more dumbed down down and less clinically applicable than an NP...

  15. University of Phoenix FNP

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Adhartma's topic in School, College Programs

    I can't imagine that having such a well known online for profit program on your resume would look good to future employers. I'd think heavily whether you want to invest in that. While many nurses...

  16. NP vs PA vs CNS

    futureeastcoastNP replied to OriolesMagic's topic in Advanced Practice

    PA school requires a lot more pre-reqs than NP school. Yes, someone can go with a history degree...but someone can also go to medical school with a history degree. It doesn't mean they didn't take the...

  17. Always on the border of failing... need some help

    futureeastcoastNP replied to lalamcd's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What program are you

  18. Off the wall question about NPs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    You sound just like me, and I honestly have no idea what to do about it. I previously requested a separate forum section be made to discuss professional issues ONLY, but that request was denied. I...

  19. Off the wall question about NPs

    futureeastcoastNP replied to HornsRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Omg, thank you for posting this!! I fully agree. It's almost embarrassing to the profession as a whole. Every post here is about where to find an online program, how difficult it is to do part-time...

  20. new grad NP passed ANCC, & just learned program did not receive accreditation

    futureeastcoastNP replied to mag2014's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am concerned for you and wish you the best...however, I highly doubt it was a "reputable" college if they couldn't even gain NP accreditation, which is not terribly difficult to do. I can only...

  21. Disappointment trying not to be discouraged (very long post)

    futureeastcoastNP replied to jaznia15's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh my, they are REALLY taking advantage of NPs there. Those salaries are very low for even a new graduate NP, especially the 67K!! I think when NPs accept salaries that low, they lower the average...

  22. 12 Month BSN or 15 Month MSN?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to sciencerer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't get these MEPN and graduate entry programs. It seems they use ONE pathphysiology course, ONE pharmacology course, etc to fulfill the requirements for both an undergraduate and graduate nursing...

  23. 2.91 GPA as Bio major to Grad-Entry NP Chances?

    futureeastcoastNP replied to kyrae_04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    May I ask - do you really prefer the nursing model? Your history suggests that you were a premed, realized your grades weren't up to par, and decided you could still be a provider by going an "easier"...

  24. Clinicals: FNP in pediatrics or OBGYN

    futureeastcoastNP replied to Urtania's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm sure there are some, but it's rare these days. Most in peds are PNPs and most in OBGYN offices are Midwives or WHNPs. It's odd that your school won't let you learn from them - they are the experts...

  25. Walden University - the latest on the FNP program

    futureeastcoastNP replied to msa9179's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Exactly. It's not that distance programs require you to find your own, it's that inferior programs do. Since most people doing distance inexplicably gravitate toward for profits, it's natural that...
